Resource Conservation Initiatives to Augur Metal Recycling Market

Pune, India, August 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Metal Recycling Market.

The trend of metal recycling is consolidating across the globe and Market Research Future (MRFR), has recently published a comprehensive report on the global metal recycling market, covering key trends and patterns that are likely to impact the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2022 - 2030. As per MRFR's analysis, the metal recycling market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 88,500.70 Million by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.12% by the end of 2022 - 2030.

Metal recycling helps to significantly reduce greenhouse emissions and conserve natural resources. It involves reprocessing of used metals to convert them into usable metals. Doing so not only reduces energy consumption but also provides economic advantages as recycling involves lesser cost than procuring metals from virgin ores. The trend of metal recycling is gaining momentum due to augmenting need for energy conservation and mounting awareness regarding the advantages associated with it. Metal recycling typically involves passing used metals through the stages of sorting, melting, processing, purification, and solidification. Stainless steel, copper, zinc, l;ead, iron, and copper are among the most recycled metals.

Various factors can be credited for the growth of the metal recycling market. Surging awareness regarding metal recycling and subsequent actions taken by the governments of multiple countries to reduce environmental degradation are primary factors promoting the market growth. In addition, rapid urbanization and industrialization across the globe has triggered the need for metals at low cost. Escalating consumption of beverage is a notable trend that is likely to support the growth of the market. Surge in the consumption of beverages generates demand for aluminum cans which can augur the growth of the market in the coming years.

On the other hand, metal recycling is a tedious, labor-intensive, and time-consuming process. Moreover, the lack of proper metal recycling laws in various underdeveloped and developing countries can restrict the growth of the market over the forecast period.
